For the Tough Times: Reaching Toward Heaven for Hope |
But before we do that… I am SURE you are dying to know what the NEXT giveaway is, right?
 |
Winter Haven |
Winter Haven by Athol Dickson! This is an intense read, full of incredible imagery, drama, mystery, and a lovely touch of romance. A body found with, literally, incredible oddity. A woman seeking answers to questions. A man with secrets to hide. And… then there is the secret. Ooohhhh… chills! To top it all off… Athol weaves God and His love into it like a beautifully crafted tapestry. Seemless and flawless. (Sigh)
That’s all for the reader! But the writer who reads this book gets even more. It is intricately written with a depth and skill that leaves me in awe. The characters come to life and the scenes will put you right there. If you are trying to hone your writing skills… read this book, study it like a textbook!
This book is also a beautiful hardcover! The bad thing about this book is the sense of loss when you finish it and have to say goodbye to the characters.
So… you have till next Tuesday evening to follow my blog and leave a comment to enter. This time I will give more than one chance to enter. Tweet about this, Facebook it, or get someone else to follow my blog. Then leave a comment for each extra chance.
And… want some frosting? Go here and read an EXCELLENT interview with Athol! I’ll even give you another chance at winning if you leave a comment there. Just be sure to let me know you did! (You really should follow Tim’s blog. He has some great stuff there!)
Ok.. that’s about it. Thanks!

Thanks Patty! I’m so excited!!!! We need books like this in our church library – too many singles come and leave our little church because we “don’t have anything for them.”
You are a blessing.

Cat
